Their first kick,done properly

Mini Ballers is football for four and five year olds at Culford School. Indoors when it's wet, outdoors when it's not, with FA licensed coaches and hundreds of free taster sessions.

  1. Four

    Kicking before running properly. Balance, coordination and the first touch, learnt as a game, indoors when it rains.

  2. Five

    Games, not drills. Listening, taking turns, scoring, and a first friend from another village.

  3. Six

    Ready for a team. MatchDay Pumas U7 is the next step.

They kick beforethey can run

Football is a brilliant activity for small children. It builds coordination, movement, balance and strength, and it's the age where the game is pure fun. Mini Ballers takes that instinct and gives it a shape.

  • Fun first. Sessions are games, not drills. Nobody stands in a line.
  • A safe environment. Small groups, DBS checked coaches, first aiders on site.
  • Indoor and outdoor facilities at Culford School, so sessions run all year.
  • Teamwork and friendship. The programme has brought together children from right across Suffolk.
  • A route onward. At six, MatchDay Pumas U7 is waiting.

Why we startthis young

We want to give children a positive start to football as a whole, so they're more likely to stay healthy and active throughout their lives.

Use your child's love of kicking a ball while it's at its strongest. The habits they build at four are the ones they keep.

Hundreds of freetaster sessions

Book one, bring a water bottle and trainers, and see how your child gets on. No charge, no pressure to continue.
